Do most of you here have perfect credit scores? I'm still building up my score, but seems like you all have your shit together.

Night. i will not let this stand in the way of a solid resume, and I’m serious about that!

I too destroy my credit young then had to build it completely back up. There is a magic formula:
-low balances (if ever)
-diversification of account types
-length of credit history
-on time payments
-very few credit inquiries

Stay the course.

I brought my self back from 450 to 791 over about 3 years of fixing

I royally, fabulously, and just gloriously tanked my credit in college. It was awful. I then spent years after getting back on track and my shit together. It was a huge milestone for me a couple years back when I finally sailed passed 800 on all three companies. Now I keep it pegged there.

Congrats! Best of luck on your next 10 years in the credit market! Let me know if you’d like to go Deep on your goals.

825-845 here. It's certainly been easier to keep it higher during pandemic, since my balances are a bit lower with less spending overall. The trick to having higher scores is always paying on time (auto-pay) and having cards open that you don't really use. I've had these accounts open for a long time, only put small recurring charges on them like EZPass or occasional cup of coffee, and pay it off immediately. I also don't churn cards so I don't have tons of new inquiries.
